Hurricane on the Bayou

MacGillivray Freeman Films

Flash is required!

A journey deep into the soul-stirring heart of Louisiana - before, during and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Narrated by Meryl Streep and driven by a rousing jazz, blues and gospel-fueled soundtrack, this film is both a haunting document of a stormâs human effects and a compelling call to restore Louisianaâs wetlands and honor and rebuild New Orleans. We follow a group of four musicians, both legendary and rising, as they explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans: speed through the beautiful, alligator-filled bayous on airboats; recount their heart-wrenching, personal stories of Katrina; and most of all, bring the focus to the rapidly disappearing wetlands that are New Orleansâ first line of defense against deadly storms. The soundtrack features music legends Fats Domino, Aaron Neville, and Dr. John and more. Available features include: feature in 16x9 and 4x3, 5.1 English and French as well as others TBA, a 32-min âmaking ofâ, quiz, trailers and a MFF retrospective. In DVD and Blu-ray.
